Planning for treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma in a patient previously treated with partial gastrectomy for primary gastric lymphoma is difficult. Long term survival of advanced gastric adenocarcinoma is poor with therapy and even worse without treatment. The only potentially curative treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma is surgical resection with adequate margins. Palliative surgery ameliora...

A collision tumor of the stomach is a rare event. We report the case of a collision tumor of the stomach consisting of an adenocarcinoma and a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). This is, to our knowledge, the second report in the literature of such a case. A 71-year-old man with abdominal discomfort underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy which revealed a tumor of the oesophagogastric junct...

Gastric carcinoma remains a common disease worldwide with a dismal prognosis. This investigation was undertaken to define the demographic, clinicopathological and treatment modalities in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods: We did a retrospective study of 56 patients with primary gastric cancer who had been at King Abdullah Medical city In Holly capital; a tertiary care hospital in KS...

Gastric carcinoma may rarely be the cause of tumour-associated hypoglycaemia. We report the case of an elderly woman who presented in hypoglycaemic coma, and who was found subsequently to have an adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Hypoglycaemia persisted despite prednisolone, diazoxide, and a high concentration dextrose infusion. The few published cases are reviewed in which an association was esta...

If the poor prognosis for patients with adenocarcinoma of the stomach is to be improved, it is important to make the diagnosis at an early stage. In order to evaluate our routine diagnostic practice, we have performed a retrospective study of patients in the Portsmouth and Oxford Health Districts who were diagnosed as having adenocarcinoma of the stomach during 1979 and 1980. Three hundred and ...

The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the stomach is declining worldwide. In some Western countries, rates have been reduced to less than one third within just one generation. In countries with a traditionally high incidence, e.g. Japan and Korea, the reduction is also significant but it will take more time to diminish the still significant disease burden. The main reasons for these good news is a...

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is a unique type of extrahepatic that histologically mimics the appearance hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). stomach has poor prognosis with increased potential for liver metastasis. HCC and HAC share clinicopathological immunohistochemical features. The diagnosis metastatic hepatoid to challenging. It often misdiagnosed as carcinoma. diagnostic dilemma more
